Introduction

In the current era of globalization, business competition between companies is getting bigger and tougher. In order to compete, companies must equip their infrastructure with the support of information technology (Aharoni, 2024; Owoade & Oladimeji, 2024; Teece, 2022). High-level management as a decision maker needs something that can push the system to compete with other companies (Pappas et al., 2021). Business Intelligence as a decision-making system term that can assist management by providing predictions and decisions (A’oetpah & Sekti, 2024; Senjaya et al., 2024). One of the information facilities that can be used to support decision-making activities is the application of Business Intelligence (BI), the ability of this application to collect and process data into information which is then collected into knowledge and can end with action in making a decision at any time and right place (Laudon & Laudon, 2004; Rahman, 2018).

PT. Samudra Dyan Praga is a company engaged in the Contractor Event Organizier (MICE), on a national and international scale, which is headquartered in East Jakarta and has branches in Bali, Medan, Surabaya, Makasar, and the Ciputat Warehouse, Tangerang. In carrying out event or exhibition activities, the need for manpower is crucial and immediate at PT. Samudra Dyan Praga. The demand for labor can come suddenly without even prior planning. For example the PON Papua event or Formula E. The need for workers who are daily workers, is not well planned, both in terms of quantity, specifications and even in terms of salary per day. In fact, sometimes the request for additional employees (staff) is outside the planning, forcing the company to incur extra costs outside of planning. This certainly greatly complicates the HRGAIT Division in finding and fulfilling workers both on a daily basis and project based as well as planning financial funds. With a relatively high demand for manpower, informative and concise report data are needed to make it easier to monitor the movement of additional labor and in terms of reporting project expenses.

At PT. Samudra Dyan Praga main problem is that there is no recap reporting application that makes it easier for top management to review and analyze, especially in terms of the daily movement of workers and staff. At present each division and branch provides weekly reporting reports still in the traditional way in written paper notes, excel files and separately, making it difficult to make executive summaries. Recording that is still manual slows down the presentation of data in real time. One of them is when there will be a massive lay off during the Covid-19 pandemic. The process of making lay off targets, the percentage of employee reductions from each division, what percentage of savings or costs are obtained, the composition of the existing man power after the lay off process, and the remuneration that will occur in the future, is a separate obstacle in the process due to employee data and data other supporters are not well managed (Gusnadi & Hermawan, 2019; Siska & Putri, 2021).

Concise and informative information is the main thing for PT. Samudra Dyan Praga, so that the creation of an information dashboard is very important for the company, because it is a tool for reviewing, monitoring, and evaluating the condition of the company, especially related to Human Resources. Parts such as the movement of man power, remuneration, and employee location maps are the most important things to monitor in order to achieve competitive advantage and the sustainability of the company going forward (Sihombing et al., 2019; Sugiarto et al., 2021; Wahyudi & Syazili, 2021).

One of the tools or software to develop this application is Microsoft Power BI. Power BI is included in the Top 15 Business Intelligence tools in 2022 (https://mopinion.com/business-intelligence-bi-tools-overview) which can provide solutions to the need to present data and information in a visual form that is attractive and easy to understand. Microsoft Power BI in its use can use many data sources such as sql, excel, csv, websites, and so on.

The dashboard that is designed will display a visualization to convey information about man power growth charts, staff salary cost recap data, daily staff salaries and man power condition maps. The dashboard will collect relevant information from various sections, consolidate, and convey it in an informative, fast and easy-to-understand personalization. Therefore, the use of dashboards at PT. Samudra Dyan Praga will help solve reporting presentation problems, especially from Human Resources.

In recent years, several studies have highlighted the importance of Business Intelligence (BI) tools in improving decision-making and streamlining operations in various industries. A study by Dwivedi et al. (2021) emphasized that BI systems significantly enhance the ability to monitor real-time data, which helps organizations optimize human resource allocation and financial management. This aligns with the need for PT. Samudra Dyan Praga to implement a dashboard for monitoring labor movements and managing budgeting more effectively. Similarly, a study by Ali and Arslan (2019) found that BI systems, particularly Power BI, provide crucial advantages in data visualization, which allows companies to make informed, data-driven decisions more quickly and efficiently. These findings support the proposed development of an information dashboard to improve HR management and budgeting processes at PT. Samudra Dyan Praga, as it could help address the company's current challenges in reporting and decision-making. This study aims to design and develop an information dashboard to assist PT. Samudra Dyan Praga in managing human resources (HR) and budgeting in exhibition activities.

The objectives to be achieved in this study are: (1) Centralisation in data processing as reporting material. (2) Simplify and streamline time in the data processing process to reporting. (3) Design and build a dashboard reporting related to HR that displays reports on HR conditions in the form of dashboard visualisations, using the Power BI application.

Moreover, the benefits of research are to provide input, improvements and benefits for companies so that data management is more effective, efficient, especially in human resource management

Discussion

The implementation of the HRIS Business Intelligence (BI) monitoring dashboard has demonstrated significant improvements in decision-making efficiency, workforce management, and overall operational effectiveness at PT Samudra Dyan Praga. The dashboards, designed to present data in concise and visually appealing formats, simplify the review process and accelerate analysis for top management. For example, the ability to drill down into data provides managers with the flexibility to explore specific insights, such as workforce trends or cost comparisons across branches, enabling faster and more accurate decision-making. Additionally, visualizations like employee distribution by type and labor cost comparisons provide critical insights into workforce efficiency and budget allocation, supporting data-driven strategies to optimize resources.

The turnover trend analysis dashboard further highlights its usefulness in identifying patterns and predicting potential workforce issues. By analyzing turnover data, management can pinpoint factors contributing to employee attrition, such as dissatisfaction or operational inefficiencies, and develop targeted retention strategies. The data integration process, including cleansing and transformation steps, ensures that the dashboards rely on high-quality, consistent data, enhancing their accuracy and reliability. Moreover, the integration of Power BI underscores the role of modern technology in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights. Combined with the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), which streamlines data relationships within the HRIS, the system not only supports operational needs but also aligns with broader digital transformation goals. These outcomes emphasize the strategic value of BI tools in enhancing organizational performance in today's competitive and data-driven business landscape.

 

Conclusion

Based on the results of the development that has been carried out, the conclusions of the Business Intelligence Dashboard Analysis of HRIS PT Samudra Dyan Praga are as follows: (1) The designed dashboard is able to summarise all HR development recording and reporting in the form of informative, concise and fast graphs. (2) The designed dashboard helps top management review briefly, and accelerates the analysis process and supports management to make decisions quickly and accurately.

In this analysis, there are still limitations and shortcomings and require improvements to increase the benefits of this application which can be developed in further research.
